The plaintiff, Lady Perrot, he said, was the widow of a Baronet of very small fortune, and was un der the necessity, from her own distressed situa tion, to bring this action aeainst ihe hoshand of one of her daughters, for expenses to which she had beet) ;um for the maintenance and lodging of that daughter. %Viten the.defetidant married_ his. wife, which was some time back was a gene ral merchant, ,lining in repute, and supportmg a respectable estahlishntent ; he had since become a bankrupt. Subsequent to this inkfortune, he hail - again got into business, and was now carrying on the trade of a wine-merchant. For'ressons which it was impossible satisfactorily to explain, he had -refused to maintain his•wife, who" was in conse quence obliged to resot t (0 her mother for a ; any! ?or expenses incurred in this way, the mother now sought, as she, was entiAeci , to do, cumpensation from the bands of the-Jory.. • After sever►rl witnesses were examined for the Mr. DAuNCEY addressed the Jury, and -stated that besides the defendant's aver3ion to his wife'ti performing on the stage (which she was in the habit of doing under the name of Miss Fit zhenry), the Lady hr►<t been guil!y of infidelity, which tact comidetely exonerated the defendant. SeY, ral witnesses were called to substantiate the alleged fact of infidelity, but their evidence re ceived no credit, Chief Baron RICHARDS summed 'up the evidence to the Jury, commenting upon the testimony .of each witness with his accostotited clearness - and ability. In conclusion, he left - the Jury to say ,‘ Idyll set of witnesses they believed. If they be tirved those for the defendant, then they would find their verdict accordingly; but if, on the con trary, they thought tnore Weight, was attached to those called for the plaiwifi, then they %con ic! find a verdict for such a stun as they thought the Pliiintitl entitled to. - li was a serious question, jnv , dving ctuisequences of great importance to the parties ; and if the defendant's witnesses were not believed, then a verdict must be given for the The Jury, after a sbort consideration, foiml a ver►lict for the plaintiff, of wo guitieas per week for fifty-two weeks, or for 1091. 4s.

In the. course of the present Term„ Mr. Sergeant Hullork obtained a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be . set aside upon certain points, namely, that the matter arose out of a gambling tra:lsaction ; and;next', that the sum alledged to have been paid by the plain tiff to the defendant's use had, Out been done, either directly or impliedil, by the authority`of the former.' the , rule Mr. Sergeant VATIGIIAti now; exhibited cause, and briefly detailed the circntn stances of the ease. . 'rite plaintiff,. on the 23d of October last, called npon the deft ottani , and re quested to purchase from him 3,000/, 3 Fier ceitt; consols, at the tnatket price of the day, The de fendant agreed, and the.transfer was to take place on the 30th of the month. The defendant, it ap peared, at the time was actually possessed of stock to the amount in question, although it had been entered in the name of Mescrs. Martin and hi's haulters•. It appeared further, however, that on the Sallie day he had sold two other parcels id lA:e stock other individuals for the same amount, and: had thus contracted epgag'enteuts . for 6000/. more than was bona fide in-his possession. The Leal tied Counsel (1 - lullock) argued upon the fact that it was a gaming and not a fair transaction. This rbjection; however, could not be maintained, inasmuch as it could not he ascertained Whether the sale made to the plaintiff .had ,been antecedent to, or had -pre ceded, the other sale. The great objection, lioW ever, arose front another part of the case. From the notes of the original trial, it appeared that on the ZOth of ()Molter the plaintiff callud . upon Mr. Bailer, the broker of the defendant, to have the stock duly transferred, in ptirsuance of the con tract: The broker proceeded tO effect. this ; hut it so happened that on the very day a considerable rise'had taken place in the,3 per cent.consols,,anl . it was found ;upon investigation that the sum transferred, as before stated, WAS minus 451. The plaintiff, to obviate this difficulty, paid the defi ciency, and thus made up the net sum for which he contracted. with the defendant, relying upon , he latter to make good the snot; the defendant, however, did-not yield compliance, and hence the present proceeding:prose. Mr. Sergeant HoLLocK, argued strenuously that the defendant had not given his authority, either directly or indirectly, to the plaintiff to pay away the sum stated for his use. Atter considerable argument, the Court declar ed their ol►inion to be, that the consent of the defendant, either expessed - or. • implied, should have been given as to, the payment money •ou this account; and that such admission not having been made, a verdict of nonsuit must be entered. —Entered accordingly.
